This method retrieves the ITypeCompinterface for the type description, which enables a client compiler to bind to the type description's members.
HRESULT GetTypeComp( ITypeComp FAR *FAR * ppTComp );
Parameters
- ppTComp
- Pointer to a pointer to the
ITypeCompinstance for this
ITypeLib. A client compiler uses the methods in the
ITypeCompinterface to bind to types in
ITypeLib, as well as to the global functions, variables, and
constants defined in
ITypeLib.
Return Values
One of the values described in the following table is returned.
Value Description S_OK Success. E_OUTOFMEMORY Out of memory. E_INVALIDARG One or more of the parameters is invalid. TYPE_E_IOERROR The function could not read from the file. TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD Invalid data. TYPE_E_UNSUPFORMAT The type library has an older format. TYPE_E_INVALIDSTATE The type library could not be opened. TYPE_E_WRONGTYPEKIND Type mismatch. Remarks
The Bindfunction of the returned TypeCompbinds to global functions, variables, constants, enumerated values, and coclass members. The Bindfunction also binds the names of the TYPEKINDenumerations of TKIND_MODULE, TKIND_ENUM, and TKIND_COCLASS. These names shadow any global names defined within the type information. The members of TKIND_ENUM, TKIND_MODULE, and TKIND_COCLASS types marked as Application objects can be directly bound to from ITypeCompwithout specifying the name of the module.
ITypeComp::Bind and ITypeComp::BindTypeaccept only unqualified names. ITypeLib::GetTypeCompreturns a pointer to the ITypeCompinterface, which is then used to bind to global elements in the library. The names of some types (TKIND_ENUM, TKIND_MODULE, and TKIND_COCLASS) share the name space with variables, functions, constants, and enumerators.
If a member requires qualification to differentiate it from other items in the name space, GetTypeCompcan be called successively for each qualifier in order to bind to the desired member. This allows programming language compilers to access members of modules, enumerations, and coclasses, even though the member can't be bound to with a qualified name.
